[#26450] - [4.0] Show changelog is not shown in update view
- Closed
- 2 Oct 2019
- Medium
- Build: staging
- # 26450
Steps to reproduce the issue
I like to use the change log, that was introduced in this PR: #24026
-
Install an extension that uses change log and update server. I created my own extension for this. If you like you can test with this extension: https://github.com/astridx/boilerplate/releases/tag/v1.0.0
-
Make sure, that in the manage view the change log is shown
- Create a new version of this extension and open the update view. In my case the update version is version 1.0.1: https://github.com/astridx/boilerplate/releases/tag/v1.0.1
Expected result
I can open the change log in the update view.
Actual result
Open the update view and see, that there is N/A in the column for the change log
System information (as much as possible)
Current Joomla 4.0 Branch on Ubuntu. Browser: Firefox
Additional comments
Unfortunately, I can not test with the original files from PR #24026, because they are not available.

@brianteeman Thank you. You're right. I could have seen that myself. Sorry.
But. In the zip of the old version , the URL was right. Only in the zip of the new version, the URL was wrong. I did not expect that. Because the URL was recognized by the manager, I was sure of an error in the update view.

Now I have corrected the zip. The problem still exists. When I update the change log is not displayed. But: I can see it after the update.
what is the value of the changelogurl field in the #__extensions database table
@brianteeman Thank you for helping.
The changelogurl is:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/astridx/boilerplate/tutorial/changelog.xml
In the manage view I can open the change log. The problem is in the update view
When I update the change log is not displayed
Nothing is being displayed in updates view
This is the expected behaviour as there is no update to the version that is installed defined in your update server.
@brianteeman
I did not express myself well. I mean, when have installed version 1.0.0 and I check for updates. In this case I see this:
But I should see a link in the column change log to the change log for version 1.0.1.
So it is explained in #24026
@roland-d That's correct, right?
you dont have a changelog url defined in your update xml so the #__updates changelogurl field never gets populated
The code is working correctly as far as I can tell. The problem is the documentation is missing
@brianteeman Which documentation is missing?
https://docs.joomla.org/Adding_changelog_to_your_manifest_file

I am ashamed, but I have seen the entry in update.xml just now in JDoc. Before I did not see it. Many thanks for your help and sorry for the wrong error report.
Happens to all of us
The problem is in your code not in joomla ;)
You have set the update url to be https://github.com/astridx/boilerplate/blob/tutorial/changelog.xml
But that is the full github html page
You need to change that to be https://raw.githubusercontent.com/astridx/boilerplate/tutorial/changelog.xml
